No. 95,96,97 Wide Gauge Bridges (Circa 1928-30) | |||||||||||||||
In 1928 Ives stopped listing the 98-2 bridges and replaced them with the 95(single span), 96(double), 97(Triple). The bridge above is a 95 wide gauge bridge with it's original box. You can't tell from this picture but the bridge approaches are flat. The bridge pictured above and below is a No. 96 bridge, note that it's flat to the ground and actually has two spans that can be separated. We don't have pictures of a No. 97 as we've never seen one but it would have three center sections. The third picture below shows one of the bridge approaches, it's also flat with no elevation. Flat approaches used for late wide gauge bridges. |
